본 논문에서는 전력설비의 열화로 발생되는 부분방전 음압 검출을 위해 간섭계형 광섬유 센서를 제작하고 방전 음압을 측정하였다. 광섬유 센서는 아크릴과 알루미늄에 광섬유를 수회 감은 맨드릴형으로 선택하였으며, 간섭계는 Sagnac간섭계 및 Mach-Zehnder 간섭계를 선택하여 실험하였다. 피에조 (PZT)를 이용하여 구성된 광섬유 간섭계의 적합성을 확인하였다. 방전 음압 발생장치는 절연유 내에 방전 모의셀을 설치하여 방전 음압을 발생시키고, 광섬유 센서로 방전신호를 검출하였다. 실험결과 Sagnac 간섭계가 Mach-Zehnder간섭계보다 방전 음압을 보다 안정적으로 검출함을 확인하였으며, Sagnac 간섭계 센서가 방전 음압 검출에 적합함을 확인하였다.

A fiber-optic temperature sensor utilizing an optical absorption device (InP) was fabricated. The spectrum of transmitted light through an InP device was obtained at the three temperatures(249 K, 369 K). A stabilized LED(light emmiting diode) driver, photoreceiver, and signal proocessing electronics were designed. An intensity referencing technique was adopted in order to minimize the fluctuation of output signal due to external pertubation of the transmitting optical fiber. The optical absorption edge of the InP device moves to longer wavelength at a rate of 0.42 nm / K, and energy gap of InP is 1.35 eV at room temperature. From these results, it is concluded that the InP device has temperature dynamic range of 300 K with LED of center wavelength of 940nm and spectral width of 50nm. The designed fiber-optic temperature sensor system showed good linearity within the temperature range from -30$^{\circ}C$ to + 150$^{\circ}C$.

Brillouin scattering-based fiber optic sensors are useful to measure strain or temperature in a distributed manner. Since the Brillouin frequency of an optical fiber depends on both the strain and temperature, it is very important to know whether the Brillouin frequency shift is caused by the strain change or temperature change. This article presents a temperature compensation technique of a Brillouin scattering-based fiber optic strain sensor. Both the changes of the Brillouin frequency and the Brillouin gain power is observed for the temperature compensation using a BOTDA sensor system. Experimental results showed that the temperature compensated strain values were highly consistent with actual strain values.

Optical Temperature Distribution measurement System (OTDS) is completely different from conventional electric point sensor in that it uses the optical fiber itself as the sensor. This new concept in temperature measuring system requires only one fiber to be laid. The use of optical fiber also gives the advantage of small diameter, light weight, explosion resistance, and electromagnetic noise resistance. The OTDS is a sensor which is capable of making a precise measurement over a wide range of areas using only a single optical fiber. Since current temperature sensors, such as the thermocouple, are only used to measure temperaturea of point, they are almost impractical for measuring a wider range because of the extremely high cost. In comparision with current sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature sensor can make much quicker and more precise measurements at a comparatively low cost.

Sagnac 간섭계를 이용한 광섬유 음향 센서에서 음향 신호를 간단하면서도 효과적으로 복조할 수 있는 이중위상 천이 신호처리 기법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 그 특성을 검증하였다. 이 기법을 사용하여 기존의 ${\pi}/2$ 위상 바이어스 복조 방식이 갖는 동적 범위의 이론적 한계를 근본적으로 제거하였다. 이 기법은 고주파의 위상 변조를 하지 않으므로 간단한 전자 회로만으로도 음향 신호의 복조가 가능하다. 또한 디지털 신호처리에 적합하며 다른 간섭계에도 적용이 가능하다.

Applications of the fiber optic sensing are glowing rapidly, particularly in situations where size, weight, speed, and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important considerations. The fiber optic current sensors have been developed for low frequency(60Hz) metering in electric power systems. But we try measure to high frequency large current by fiber optic current sensor based on Bi substituted rare earth iron garnet. In this paper, we report the linearity to 500 amperes and frequency response of signal processor and a result of detection the standard impulse large current of fiber optic impulse sensor system.

Although the strain distribution along the length of a beam in buildings or infrastructures is non-uniform, most fiber optic sensors are point sensors that can measure the strain only at a local point of a beam. Long gage fiber optic sensors that measure integrated strain over a relatively long length can consider strain variation. This type of sensor was found to be efficient and useful for monitoring large-scale structures. On the other hand, the maximum strain or stress in a beam can not be measured with long gage optic sensors. However, for the assessment of the safety of multi-span steel beams subjected to various vertical loads, the maximum strain or stress measured during monitoring is required for comparison with the allowable stress of the beam calculated by a design code. Therefore, in this paper, mathematical models are presented for determination of the maximum values of strains in more three-span steel beams based on the average strains measured by long gage optic sensors.

음압을 감지할 수 있는 Sagnac 간섭계 센서와 온도 및 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 FBG센서를 결합한 새로운 형태의 하이브리드 광섬유 센서 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 입력 광원인 CW를 TLS로 대체할 필요가 있어 이에 따라 광원의 변화와 맨드릴 재료의 변화에 따른 광섬유 센서의 응답 특성 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 제작된 맨드릴 재료는 PTFE와 PTFE에 카본을 섞어 만든 두 종류로 선택하여 중공 원통형 맨드릴 겉면에 광섬유를 18 m 감아 광섬유 센서로 제작하였다. CW 광원에 대하여 음원의 입력 주파수를 1 kHz~20 kHz까지 바꾸어 가며 트랜스포머 오일이 채워진 유조에서 실험하였다. 또한 FBG와 맨드릴형 광섬유 센서를 결합한 하이브리드형 광섬유 센서 시스템을 구성하고 TLS 광원을 입사광으로 실험하였다. 실험 결과 PTFE 센서의 탐지 크기는 카본 센서 탐지 크기보다 높게 나타났고 맨드릴 재질의 탄성계수 값이 적을수록 커진다는 이론 결과와 잘 일치함을 보였다. CW 광원과 TLS 광원에서 응답한 PTFE 센서의 특성을 주파수별로 상호 비교하여 보면 광원이 CW일 때 보다 TLS일 때 응답 특성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 TLS를 이용한 광섬유 센서는 FBG와의 하이브리드 시스템에 적용 가능하리라 사료된다.

In this study, we developed a fiber-optic humidity sensor (FOHS) system for the monitoring and detection of coolant leakage in nuclear power plants. The FOHS system includes an FOHS, a spectrometer, a halogen white-light source, and a Y-coupler. The FOHS is composed of a humidity-sensing material, a metal tube, a multi-mode plastic optical fiber, and a subminiature version A (SMA) fiber-optic connector. The humidity-sensing material is synthesized from a mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) in distilled water. We measured the optical intensity of the light signals reflected from the FOHS placed inside the humidity chamber with relative humidity (RH) variation from 40 to 95%. We found that the optical intensity of the sensing probe increased linearly with the RH. The reversibility and reproducibility of the FOHS were also evaluated.
